"Beginning of a New Watch" 16 X 20 lithograph. 

The Venerable Order of Knights of Michael the Archangel, who is The Patron Saint of Police.

Michael the Archangel appears in the Bibles of most major religions.  He is called the "Patron Saint" of law enforcement officers.  Among Angels, he is the only Angel depicted with sword and shield sent by God to fight evil.

This is a copy of the original painting, which is on display in the National Chapel of the Knights of Justice at the American Police Hall of Fame.  It was commissioned by American Police Hall of Fame founder Gerald Arenberg and created by well-known artist Abdon J. Romero.  This picture shows Michael the Archangel taking an officer to his heavenly father.

The picture is framed, and the donor sugguests that irt be displayed in a place where it can be appreciated and share, either in your home or local police department.  It is even appropriate to be presented as a gift to your church.  In any case it should be shared.
